In his report, Andrea Mengucci said he encountered tons of Hurkyl's, Fiery Confluence, etc, and that people were just prepared to beat Shops. Assuming he's right, the approach paid off, as we had an entirely non-Shops top 8. Was this a fluke, or can we expect people to take this approach and succeed at the upcoming NA Vintage events?

@Stuart He was true when saying that people were ready for the shop matchup. Some people were even paranoid about it : i met a BUG deck that was running (post side) : 4 trygon predator, 4 nature's claim and 3 energy flux. Obviously i lost ...
Shop is sort of similar to dredge : when you take it seriously, you win against it.
